One piece
連體泳衣
This tight, form-fitting swimsuit style was born in the 1900s when women grew tired of the heavy wool dresses they’d been wearing to cover their bodies in public baths. The one-piece swimsuit, in revealing the arms and knees, allowed levels of public skin exposure unheard of since Roman times. When Australian actress and swimmer Annette Kellerman sported a one-piece in Boston in 1907, the police arrested her for *indecency.
這種緊身合體的泳衣誕生于二十世紀初。那時,婦女們已厭倦了在公共澡堂裹著厚重的羊毛長裙來遮蓋身體。連體泳衣讓手臂和膝蓋都裸露在外面,這種在公共場合的暴露尺度自羅馬時代之后,便聞所未聞。1907年,澳大利亞演員兼游泳運動員安妮特•凱勒曼在波士頓惹人注目地身穿連體泳衣時,警方以不雅罪為由將其逮捕。
However, this didn’t stop the rise of the one-piece. It became the norm for women over the next 20 years and is still very much in fashion today.
然而,這卻并沒能阻止連體泳衣的流行。在接下來的20年間,連體泳衣已成為女性的標準著裝,如今也依然很流行。
